The Growing Trend of Fully-Furnished Whole House Rentals in Tokyo

Aug 11, 2025
In recent years, more and more people—both locals and foreigners—are choosing to rent fully furnished whole houses in Tokyo.

🏡 Why Fully-Furnished Whole Houses?

  1. Move-in Ready
    No need to buy furniture or appliances. Just bring your suitcase and start living immediately.

  2. Cost-Effective for Groups
    Renting a 2-3 bedroom house can be more affordable per person than renting multiple apartments—especially for families or friend groups.

  3. Privacy & Space
    A whole house gives you full control over your space, ideal for remote work, family life, or long-term stays.

  4. Local Living Experience
    Enjoy a more authentic Tokyo life in residential neighborhoods, often surrounded by parks, local markets, and quiet streets.
